My experience ranges across three CG disciplines - camera, layout and postvis. My core competences bridge the technical and creative aspects of cameras in a cg environment. This includes creating editorially sound sequences with full cg cameras, creatively changing tracked cameras to match edit ref and an in depth knowledge of the complex interface between cg and the physical world that is needed in matchmoving. Most recently I have taken a step into previz.
